Ali was the king of this. This is all show to get people riled up and it sells tickets. Seems the British cannot tell the difference between real life and drama. Its a business and Mayweather has been very up front about that. Between him, Oscar del Ahoya, Hatton and Las Vegas much money was made. And why not? They put their bodies on the line.
The more Mayweather pissed the Brits off the more succesful this enterprise was. And if you think Hatton wasn't aware of this you're crazy. This was the perfect Rocky and Appollo Creed revival. I saw the video where the Brits were giving Mayweather the finger. It was hilarious. The people in the game know the score. Its the poor sap sipping his pint in some town that time forgot that believes the drama.
